Please stop discussing about battery stats/performance. I usually don't post this, but we have more than 2 pages of this and it just make dev's work harder because instead of reading a single post with a logcat or a bug report, he lost his time searching for bug reports and ended up with hundred of useless posts.

This should be discussed in General/Q&A section. I'm sure you'll get the same answers. There's already a thread suggesting how to improve your battery in general section.

Don't blame the rom if your battery stats is poor. There are a lot of reasons for this, like applications misbehaving, damaged battery, damaged sd card. I got a 24 hours with almost 5 hours screen on (mostly mail/browsing/tapatalk), so I don't believe there's anything wrong with this rom. (I just turned off Google Now).

The first time I wiped system, it bootlooped. But after flashing back to old ROM then dirtyflashing with only wiping cache, dalvik, and data is the only time it won't bootloop

Seems like everyone has good success with the latest build, but I still see some camera issues happening. Is that still a problem for everyone? Would love to try this ROM out, but wanted to see what everyone thinks.

Full data wipe and everything works fine.

I have taken 52+ pictures through the front facing camera in the app "A Better Camera" which is free from the play store. 3-4 of them included night mode enabled. I have not gotten one with Green Lines in the picture. I thought i included screenshots earlier, i will post more tomorrow.

Also, just to ensure i am not missing anything. I am also using the Cm11 Max Quality Camera mod from the Android Development Section.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Specialist88:
Would you be able to provide the thread where you got the CM11 Max Quality Camera? I just tried to take multiple pics with the back camera, but that's not working, yet the FFC is working just fine. Thanks in advance!

---------- Post added at 12:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 AM ----------

OK flashed CM11 on the S4 and it is lag free and working well. Couple of things I found so far.

1. Stock camera (back) is not working, as almost everyone has posted.

2. When trying to log into the Play Store for 1st time, it gives a "Google Service Login" error.

3. Don't see customizations to change battery icon at the status bar.

That's all I have seen so far. Will test it out a little more and post later.

11/24 build Dalvik. Having issues with Oovoo (somebody prior had issues with Skype that were never resolved). The issue is that the person on the other end cannot hear me. They can see me just fine, but for some reason the microphone is not working in just this app.

11/24 Build Bugs

I have my phone encrypted with a pretty strong password. The problem is after I unlock my phone with my password on boot, it has to rebuild the app chache every goddamn time. I am on ART, but I don't think it would make a difference if I switched to Dalvik. Any idea on whether this is a bug or an intended feature of running an encrypted device?

Happy Turkey day everyone

One quick question

Is there any way to permanently choose the amount of screens ..

I use an app wallpaper changer, and it has the option to have a widget on the screen if I want to manually change the wallpaper

Now i prefer to keep my home screen pretty basic and simple and have this widget and any other apps I use often on a separate screen.

Is there a way for me to do this without using a different launcher

It seems as soon as I move the widget to the second screen system auto deletes the other
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RazoE:
Stock kernel, clean flash, and t mobile version. I'm not sure why it does it, but it's not a giant problem, just very inconvenient.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] melqui2004:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMAVIS09:
What keyboard are you using? The ASOP keyboard force closes if you swipe.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
I will provide my own input on this.

The version is the latest (1.7.20). As long as the playback is strictly hardware, it's OK. But since MKVs can be 10-bit or have multiple tracks, these are best done with at least software assistance, but any time software or HW+ is selected, or if I attempt to switch an audio track, it FCs. Using the downloaded, up to date NEON codec library doesn't help.

I also note that VLC isn't behaving well, either, FCing most of the time.

And like the other poster, this happens both with Dalvik and with ART.

Based on my experienced, KitKat is perhaps causing video playback issues across the board. I was also trying another KK ROM (Gummy, more AOSP-based) and it had the same issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RazoE:
Swype, but it does the same with swiftkey. Both versions are up to date

new build posted...

lots of bugs addressed in the last few pages are fixed in the new build (camera, dialer icons)

and about the "ok google" thing. as far as i know its only in the Google launcher that comes with pa gapps. which is kinda lame lol. that was why i wanted kitkat but i know eventually cm's launcher will be better and i wont want the google one....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Lol do you guys just not use your phones at all to get battery life like that? Like make phone calls, text, listen to music on your commute? Regular day to day use of a phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ixJay:
Just downloaded the newest version of this ROM. So far so good. Very smooth and fast. Got a few question, might be noobish lol. Anyways, is there any multi window with this ROM? How can I get screenshot option when holding the power button or by click power button and home button at the same time? Also I am using the default launcher, anyway to get multiple screens? If so.. How? Other than that, everything is working fine and can't find any other problems.. For now :)

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] srimay:
That's weird, Google plus works fine for me. Always has, and Im on today's release
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bcflyfisher:
OK Google is also available in the Play store without needing the Google Home apk. I was using it with Apex Launcher on CM11 for the past couple of days because there are many things I hate about the Google Launcher.

Actually, I just installed OK Google on my 4.3 ROM and it works. It's still Beta and a bit flaky sometimes.

As for Kit Kat, I used it for a full day and the only things I found to be improvements were the addition of OK Google and the new dialer. I have a long list of things I don't like, and of course it's early and the customization isn't anywhere close to what we've been enjoying in the late JB ROMs.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chosen_on184:
Not sure if mentioned already but the only bug I see so far from the 11/29 build is bluetooth connection is jittery .. Meaning it crackles a lot when listing to any music at all..

Previous build was fine ..

Will update If i see or hear anything else

Also to add anyone experiencing where the bluetooth volume increases on it's own ... no matter how many times I turned it down it simply increases by itself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeWhoGameZ:
So is it okay if I flash a different gapps rather than the one supplied by the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhosAsking:
I think the problem is that you can't just flash any old GApps on top of a KitKat ROM. You need a package built for KitKat. There is a thread somewhere here that offers a variety of GApps packages for assorted ROMs (found the thread). They DO provide KitKat versions. I used that one myself and haven't had any issues with them to date.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeWhoGameZ:
Okay. That's what I meant. It's just I want maps, chrome and drive to be in system and not take up data space.

You will unfortunately have to wipe and flash again this has happened to a few users. As far as Google plus crashing, had that on the latest build after a dirty flash. I deleted it from system app and installed again from the market. All good but still getting green lines in forward facing camera which for me is no issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HeWhoGameZ:
I also get the FFC green lines with the 11/29 build. Every once in a while there will be no green lines.

Although I did manage to get the 11/29 build dirty flashed with no problems except the FFC and a few apps fc but I think some of it has to do with 4.4

love this rom and everything i use normally works fine except for poweramp and other music players. pretty frequently the app wont play any songs and i have to go into app info and force stop the app. it could work for a few minutes to a few hours or not at all and ill have to do it again until it works. tried other music players and i get weird distortions and sometimes it plays the songs at like a 10x speed and everything gets all high pitched lol.

tried a clean install of every version so far and nothing yet. anyone have any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] blackknightavalon:
I've had this problem when I had CM11 installed, too. The only real problem I have with this ROM, but I kinda need to be able to turn the screen on when I make calls so I can access the keypad. I'm going to see if flashing a Google Play-based 4.4 ROM works.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] albinoman887:
in regards to this. use pa gapps

and about the camera. the reason the green lines are back is i didnt add any cherry picks from gerrit this build. the 11 19 build i did but then the camera would freeze sometimes after taking a picture. once those patches are corrected and merged. the lines should be gone

any sensor issues should be fixed now as we are using offical 4.4 sensor source

about ART. what gapps are you using? do you still needed a odexed gapps? if so what one did you use? i wanna try ART out again now the superuser is fixed

tethering i think is an issue across all cm11 devices right now. i see a whole "tethering" branch they are working on on gerrit. i'll check it out today see whats going on

oh and just so everyone knows. i removed the assert lines from the rom flashing script at build time. so the rom should flash on any device now just fine.
